AssignmentTutorOnline
The aim of the module is to introduce a range of traditional and emerging technologies employed to ensure the safety of food. It explores a range of current food related safety issues, including the analysis of risk and reviews current hygiene practices in the food industry.
This will be done via the exploration of a case study, “the Safwan’s Currie Paradise Safety Senario” which will require you apply the theoretical and technical apects of food safety management to a “real life” scenario from a technical managment perspective.
The module will also examine the implementation, auditing and evaluation of appropriate processes and procedures/controls to effect safe processing of foods and aims to provide students with the necessary skills to enable students to synthesise and critically appraise different aspects of food safety technologies and food safety management in complex contexts.
A series of milestone online tutorial activities and Webinars, running on an interactive basis, will facilitate the use of the Safwan’s Currie Paradise Safety Senario case study and problem-solving exercises. Students will receive formative feedback from the submission of on line exercises and online tests based on the case study.
